Batgirl
Batman Beyond
Blue Beetle
Red Hood & The Outlaws (I'm morbidly curious!)
New Superman
Titans (I have terrible pattern recognition!)
Teen Titans (I have nostalgia and more money than sense!)
Suicide Squad
Superwoman

Don't try Batman Beyond. Batman Beyond comics are almost always terrible.

I forget, does 'Tec always outsell Batman or is it that Action outdoes Superman?

Also, for gently caress's sake, DC, if you actually want to pretend like the Trinity all matter equally, launch a print Sensation Comics.

They had that recently. It wasn't in continuity, but it was still pretty good. Wonder Woman short stories done by a variety of writers and artists.

The sad thing is though is that Wonder Woman really DOESN'T matter anymore, though she should. Hopefully Rucka can help on that but until DC decides 'hey we want Wonder Woman to ACTUALLY BE IMPORTANT' she's really not going to be.

Spoiler is a hero that just doesn't work. She seems to have no direction or distinguishing features, down to her costume being a ninja outfit with a hood and her totally nonsensical name. She's ostensibly a part of the Bat-Family but often gets called up to help behind people like Black Canary or Huntress. As aforementioned Bluebird was recently introduced and already a more compelling character then Spoiler.

What's so nonsensical about her name? :psyduck:

I don't know what isn't to like. He's a black cyborg Megaman who can control machines.

If he beat up gimmicky evil robots and stole their powers for his own use, I would be much more interested in Cyborg.

Also give him the robot dog while we're at it.

Wasn't one of the reasons that Cyborg was added into the Justice League because Dwayne McDuffie was a fan of his, and they did it in his memory?

I remember reading that somewhere before, but now that I'm looking into it, I can't find a source on it...

Oh it's not a good movie. I watched it because I could not ignore the fact that Batwoman was in it. I got Alfred kickboxing a guy and then they blew Mad Hatter's head off (literally with like a bomb of some kind). And Batwoman was all "gently caress YOU I use GUNS" and the whole thing is pretty dump.

That movie's portrayal of Batwoman left me honestly pissed off. What an awful was of time that was.

There were a more than a few really good New 52 books, even at launch. I will maintain this until my dying breath.

I hate to even consider saying this, but I'm getting a big kick out of RHatO's Artemis. I actually think this snarky schtick is working better for her than a lot of her prior interpretations.

Now how will they gently caress this up? STAY TUNED

I almost hesitate to ask, but how is that book? I mean, it's a Red Hood book, so I'm obviously wary, but the idea of those three characters together is interesting to me.

Anyway, DC is doing pretty well right now, at least if you're a Batman book. DC's top selling books in July were:

1. Dark Days the Casting
2. Batman
3. Batman
4. All-Star Batman
5. Detective Comics
6. Detective Comics
7. Flash
8. Flash
9. Justice League
10. Justice League

I'm kind of surprised to see Flash and Justice League outselling Harley Quinn. Is that not a huge seller for them anymore? I thought her book was selling fairly high?

Curious if Sensation Comics, Wonder Woman Earth One, Legend of Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman: The True Amazon, and Odyssey of the Amazons sold strongly enough to keep additional Wonder Woman titles going.

There was Wonder Woman '77 recently, too, which was at least popular enough to cross over with Batman '66 and the Bionicle Woman.

Was WW '77 any good? I never got around to checking it out.

Thanks to this thread I was trying to think of ways to make Cyborg interesting. I came up with "He fights a neural network that generates names for supervillains, then makes those supervillains real," and now I want to read that very badly indeed

1) Stop with the 'oh woe is me I'm a robot and not a human' angst (I'm assuming he's still doing that because that's all he's ever done).
2) Give him an upgrade that lets him shift to a more human looking form.
3) Have him realize how rad it is to have crazy robot powers.
4) Basically make him more like his Teen Titans Go character.

There. Fixed. :colbert:

There are further rumours / comments that something else happens at the end that the NYTimes doesn't mention, but I don't know what it actually is.

According to Kieran Shiach's twitter, the wedding is the least interesting part of that issue and the last page sets up the next fifty issues of Batman in a big way.

I'm pretty rustled at the wedding not actually happening, but I'm curious as to what exactly that second bit is.

Random question that popped into my head after watching Aquaman and listening to the Journey into Misery episode on Aquaman’s history:

Has there ever been a story/stories set in pre-fall Atlantis, before the kingdom sank below the sea? Seems to me that ancient Atlantis could be a fun setting for storytelling.
